Question

Lipogenesis, or fatty acid synthesis, occurs in several cycles. A diagram of the reactions of the cycle of fatty acid synthesis is shown below. Which of the following statements are true? Select all the true statements. Acetyl-SCoA is used to produce malonyl-SCoA. the reactions of lipogenesis include, but are not limited to, condensation, reduction, and dehydration. The first cycle of lipogenesis yields CO_2, 1 NADP*, and an acyl group attached to ACP. Each cycle lengthens the fatty acid chain by three carbon atoms. In lipogenesis, acetyl and acyl molecules are activated by an acyl carrier protein (ACP). Malonyl CoA adds a two-carbon group to the growing fatty acid chain with each cycle.
